Numbers 15: Lessons for Restoring Your Broken Fellowship with God after Sin

Image credit1

Introduction: The Jews had turned their back on God at the edge of the Promised Land. As a consequence, they would have to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. But God still wanted to restore His fellowship with His rebellious people. This would, however, require that the people accept His one path for repentance, atonement and restoration after sin. Only after the Jews submitted in faith-led obedience to His path for atonement and His laws could fellowship with Him be fully restored. The lessons from this chapter apply to any believer who feels that their sins are too big to be forgiven or that their fellowship with God will never be the same. Through the blood of Jesus, any sin can be forgiven. Jesus can also restore your broken fellowship. But you must follow His one path for atonement and fellowship in faith and Spirit-led obedience.
